Poor Design & No PartsI bought this less than a month ago and the nut/screw holding the handle in place kept falling out untill it was lost. No replacement part available, only a full warranty replacement at a cost of $10 for a $20 rod/reel combo. Not the same Shakespear I have bought over the years, and not the company me & my 3 boys will be spending our money on in the future.

Great Rod For a Great PriceI purchased a Crusader Spinning Combo a couple weeks ago. The ice is finally melting off the lakes, and I've had the opportunity to use the new combo a couple times. For the price you pay for this combo, you can't go wrong. The rod is great. The reel is great.

Best inexpensive rodI bought this this summer and it by far was worth the money. Just to be clear I'm no serious fisherman. I would say this is a decent rod for people who are starting out or for kids. 4 stars because it is a decent rod but a good deal.Great deal
